The civil war was one of the causes of the [[Last Great Time War]]. | ||
Despite the earlier [[Dalek Civil War|rebellion]] of the [[humanised Dalek]]s, some [[historian]]s referred to this conflict as the first Dalek Civil War.

Davros was released by [[Gustave Lytton]] and [[Dalek Trooper|his mercenaries]] recruited by the Supreme Dalek. Learning of the Daleks' defeat by a Movellan [[Biological warfare|bio-weapon]], Davros used his virus research as a means to secretly convert [[human]]s and [[Dalek]]s to his cause, eventually building up a small [[army]]. He sought to release the virus against the Supreme Dalek's forces and create a new race of Daleks loyal to him in its place. He claimed to the [[Fifth Doctor]] that he had made mistakes in making the Daleks completely ruthless and unable to think illogically, and he decided to make them understand emotion, but only in order to make them better killers. | Davros was released by [[Gustave Lytton]] and [[Dalek Trooper|his mercenaries]] recruited by the Supreme Dalek.

When the Daleks led by the Supreme Dalek landed on [[Spiridon]] with [[Seventh Doctor|the next incarnation]] of [[the Doctor]], Davros set his army of white and gold Daleks (later known as the Imperial Daleks) against them, along with a [[Special Weapons Dalek]].

He then told them that Lareen was on Skaro and ordered them to exterminate her. The Daleks were impressed with this show of loyalty, and named Davros Emperor of the Daleks.
